I am sooooo there Bill, both Bills.  I always trust my body to tell me what
it needs, knowing that my body is an untrustworthy bastard.  I do it anyway
of course, but I know I am pulling a fast one on me.  I am trying to trick
me into giving myself donuts and coffee.  It works of course.  I give me
whatever I ask.  My wish is my command.

Here's the real deal: I am of the school of thought that holds one can eat
pretty much whatever one wants, so long as it isn't too much of it.  If one
keeps the total calorie count low, that works for some reason: it seems to
lead to good health.  Some yahoo demonstrated it with the twinkie diet, a
professor of human nutrition:

Wouldn't take it that far, but I see his point.
